Cougars land Hutchinson multi-sport standout for 2013 season
Head Coach Mike Warren recently announced the commitment from Hutchinson High School’s Trevor Turner to join the Cougars for the 2013 season. Turner, a multi-sport athlete for the Salt Hawks, is expected to play outfield for the Cougars while also exploring options to play basketball while at Barton.
"Trevor Turner is a great fit for our program!" said Coach Warren. "He has the mental make-up we look for and is very athletic!"
Missing his junior season of basketball and baseball due to a knee injury suffered in the state football championship game, Turner batted .321 as a sophomore driving in fourteen RBIs. Of his twenty-five hits, eight were for extra-bases.
On the football field Turner was a three-year starter at quarterback with a 31-7 record and helped lead Hutchinson to the 2011 Class 5A state championship his junior season. In his senior season the Salt Hawks fell in the 6A title game and in his first season as a sophomore helped lead his team to the 5A semifinals.
"Trevor has competed at the highest level in three sports and knows how to discipline himself and what it takes to be successful in each," said Warren. "He will have an immediate impact on our program in the outfield and we are looking forward to having Trevor in our baseball family!"
